Diary of Rev Edward Stevens

Buried Tarver’s baby.

Attended Guardians meeting at Banbury. Sent 33 cwts of apples to London, consigned to Skinner & Son Salesmen Covent Garden, in 72 baskets. The Railway charge was 1/- per cwt.

Brass Band receive their instruments; Mr Wrench of Shutford having advanced them £20.

Drove Bell, Kitty and Frank out this afternoon. Left the two latter at Mrs Shelswell’s to tea on our return.

Went up to Band room and saw instruments – stayed practising members till 9 o’clock.

Received postcard from Skinner & Son of Covent Garden acknowledging receipt of apples.

Called at Canon Payne’s, who is much better.

Thomas Green’s wife called this evening and asked for some linseed meal to make poultices for one of her children who has bronchitis. She also asked for some blackcurrant jam to make a drink for the child. Mrs Stevens gave her a pot.

Taught School this morning and attended Choir practice this evening.
